Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was launched across all the circles in INDIA on 20-JAN-2011. The procedure for MNP is as follows:

1. Send a message as PORT <space> Mobile Number to 1900 [Toll Free].
Eg: PORT 9999999999 and send this message to 1900.

2. You will receive a UPC Code in message. Note it down.

3. Now goto the nearest Customer service centre (or Retailers) of Network you want to shift. (for ex, if you are shifting from X to Y network, Goto Y's Customer Centre).

4. Fill the Form and pay Rs. 19. In the form you have to mention UPC Code ( From Step 2). Submit your Photo & Address Proof.

5. The customer centre will give a new Empty sim, after your payment and document submission.

6. With in 24 Hrs you will receive an Acceptance Message to Confirm the Porting (for your old sim). Then You have to Agree with that by replying to the Message.

7. In the next 24 hrs you will get a another message (for your old sim) to select a 2hrs time slot.
In this time your number will not work because the porting process will be done at this time. So give a 2hrs time which is convenient for you.

8. After this 2hrs the new sim (From Step 5) will work.

9. Insert the new sim in your phone, Now You are in the new network with old number.

The whole porting process is taking 1 week time.

Once you ported to new operator, the minimum time to stay with the new operator is 3 months. So in this 3 months time you can't able to port your number once again.

So are you porting your number? If yes, from which network to which one and why ? Share your views about your current Mobile Operator to others in comments.

I have ported to Airtel from Vodafone last February. Now I decided to go back to Vodafone. In airtle the charges are more for calls and SMS. Earlier they used to give free SMS, now first 3 sms are charged 50 paise each

Docomo unnecessarily charging Rs.10 every week... and even ter is no option of removing it ..felt docomo is really waste so shifting to vodafone so that atleast i can be connected to all with no tower problem...

I am portong from airtel to vodaphone. Sick of false billing by airtel.I hv cleared by outstanding by 100%. Airtel took seven days to confirm for my porting during which i used my phone. Now airtel says that i need to pay out standingand then they will takr 7 days to reprocess, agaon all this will happen. Cause i will use my phone and this will never end.. How to port then

unior worthless hopeless network i have ever usedsimply they r deducting amounts without my permission and moreover just they r waiting for my recharge as soon as i am recharging they r deducting money .I tried to reach customer care number.The most funniest thing they can deduct money even when our mobile switched off.kind suggestion never opt for this network my friends.

I have a Airtel connection now i want to change the service provider to Smart (Reliance GSM) while my Airtel no has not more then 3 months old. Now i can Port it oa to hold upto 3 months. Please suggest me.
